Tool time (Wrench time) has its roots in around 1910 when a concept called time-and-motion study was designed for production assembly workers. The idea with tool time studies for hourly maintenance workers is to measure what percent of that worker's time is spent on actual work. Basically, someone measures how much time is spent using tools. Travel time, job planning, getting parts, thinking time and other non-wrench time activities do not count as working time. The tool time study will typically show that craftspeople spend 25 to 35 percent of their time working.
While tool time rates vary by company, a typical average is 30 percent. That means in a 10-hour day, only 3 hours of actual work is being done, but planning and scheduling maintenance best practices and digital workflow can help alleviate this issue. A company that is digitally transforming planning and scheduling its work can see tool time increase to 60-80 percent.
